Should I track one breast or both?

Yes. Write left, right, or both. Add whether the pain is spread out or in one spot.

Should I write down nipple changes?

Yes, if you notice them. Write what changed and when. Do not use this sheet to decide the cause.

Can Floriva hold these notes?

Floriva can keep short cycle notes on your device. Paper works too. Use the option you can keep private.

Breast Tenderness Before Period Tracker

A no-diagnosis tracker for breast tenderness before period timing, side, location, heaviness, swelling, nipple changes if present, cycle day, repeat pattern, and visit questions.

Breast tenderness before a period can blur together fast.

Use this tracker for plain notes. It does not diagnose PMS, pregnancy, breast disease, or any other cause.

First note

Fill this in when tenderness starts.

Question Your note Date tenderness started Cycle day, if known Days before period, if known Left, right, or both One spot or spread out Tenderness score, 0 to 10 Swelling or heaviness none / mild / strong Nipple change noticed no / yes Skin change noticed no / yes Lump or thick area noticed no / yes / not sure What changed my day? Main question for care

Use words you would say out loud. "Both breasts feel heavy at night" is useful.

Daily breast tenderness log

Use one row per day.

Date Cycle day Period timing Side Spot Score 0 to 10 Heavy or swollen Nipple change Skin change Notes : : before / during / after left / right / both one spot / spread out no / yes no / yes no / yes

Do not force a reason into the notes. Dates and changes are enough.

Pattern check

After bleeding starts or the tenderness fades, answer these.

Question Your note How many days before bleeding did it start? Did it change when bleeding started? Did it happen on one side or both? Did it stay in one spot? Did swelling or heaviness happen too? Did nipple changes happen? Did skin changes happen? Did a lump or thick area worry you? Did the same pattern happen last cycle? What is the main care question?

Mayo Clinic says breast pain can be cyclic or noncyclic. Cycle notes can help sort the pattern. They still do not name the cause.

What else happened before the period?

Check only what fits.

Bloating. Food cravings. Headache. Joint or muscle pain. Fatigue. Mood change. Sleep change. Cramps. Acne or skin change. New bra, workout, injury, or pressure on the chest. New medicine or supplement to discuss.

Mayo Clinic and the Office on Women's Health list tender breasts among PMS symptoms. That does not mean PMS is the cause for you.

Care questions

Pick the questions that fit.

Could the timing fit a cycle pattern? What details should I track next? Does one sided pain change what you want to check? Does pain in one spot change what you want to check? Should I track nipple or skin changes? Should I track breast changes for another cycle? What symptoms mean I should call sooner? What should I bring to a breast exam or gynecology visit?

If a change worries you, contact a clinician. Do not wait for a perfect tracker.

One page visit summary

Fill this out before a visit or message.

Private note storage

Breast notes can include period dates, pain, nipple changes, photos, and visit plans.

Keep only what helps. Floriva can hold short notes on your device if you want an app. A paper chart is fine too.

For timing context, read luteal phase symptoms and signs your period is coming. If pain happens after bleeding, use the breast pain after period notes. For visit prep, read Floriva for gynecologist prep.
